Hi all,

We we're thinking it would be cool to have 'Super-Buffs' - this would work essentially like the old Rare Item Lottery, ie. you pay unlimited amounts of gold to enter for a chance to be buffed. This would then be randomly picked each hour and the winning player would obtain the 'super buff' for that hour. This process would then repeat each hour.

I personally think this would be an excellent gold sink and add another interesting element to the game.

What do you think?

I like it, of course I don't know how much my opinion counts now I have this yellow background, lol, but I do like it.

That's how long I've been waiting for this game.

Sounds like a good idea, no super-TH or merchant please ;)

I wonder how the once per hour thing will work out -- could make a lot of people use it, tho could also make it easy to win if nobody is playing much.

Will it be just one buff per win, or will there be multi-packs of super buffs?

good idea ,but the only prob i see is that the player needs to be hunting for the buff to affect him ...

I think that if you have to wait an hour for it, it may be too long... however a good idea. maybe put the money that is gained from this into some sort of "pot" for another contest...

i dont think i could wait around 1 hour at full stamina to see if i get the buff... more of a time sink than a gold sink i believe

I don't like it. It means you put in the money and then sit around and wait. I don't like waiting. I'd rather be able to buy more potions that I new I was going to get. at a specific time.

Sorry, but I don't really care for it- that requires me to time everything out to a point that I may be near max stam, enter ahead, hope to get lucky- etc.

You want me to purchase a high gold cost lotto? Have a lotto for extra current stam- I think that would get some attention.

But thanks for keeping the content coming.

not a great idea, it seems that while we're coming up with these ideas that its just taking away from actually playing the game, next thing we'll be voting on is a gold sink where we randomly gain lvls...we've already got the super potions in the auction house, this is not a needed feature in the game in my opinion

I think it would be a good idea, but would rather have it bank the buff, would not want to win a super buff and have no stamina left to use it...

Make it a non-tradable and non-sellable item. It thats possible....

I think it's a bad idea to be honest :) If the buffs are really worth it, will people be waiting for hours and hours to MAYBE get them? I think it'd be better to have an hourly super buff POTION lottery, just don't make them overpowered...

Edit: The potions would be bound, of course.

dont like it... it would be the same like Temple, just 4 players in 1.7milion players will have chance to get super buff + if u get those buffs u might be offline... SO IM AGAINST

¿A good idea? ...Maybe for experts... Rookies may not need a superbuff for their trips

I think it is a great idea, but what if the person gets it and is not at their computer, it would be wasted. i am raising a rowdy four year old, so i disappear for about an hour at a time, couldn't you just make it a non-tradable potion? no offense, it is just a suggestion...

It could be nice, indeed.
Just think about "storing" the buff for later, (Perhaps for a 24 hours time), when the player can really benefit from it...

With my "yes" vote, I would like the super buff to include EVERY single skill in the game for that period of time. And I think the buff should last for 2 hours or more. :-) And I would like to see a limit to the amount of gold/tickets one can purchase. Maybe 100 or 1000; otherwise, the fairness is lost.

Personally I'd never plan my hunting on a TIIIINEY chance for a super buff. Give us something we can count on instead.
